I wanted you to help me get the script that your previously sent me back up and running. it is not working correctly for some reason. If you dont remember me refer back to the last thread with the subject (send email to a friend). You sent me a zip file containing 2 files, form.php and refer.php. the files dont seem to be working correctly anymore. maybe its because i changed web hosting companies. But when i file in the fields for name, email address and click on send. the message never gets to the person.<!--content-->Does your new server support PHP?<!--content-->yes it supports php<!--content-->you can goto my web site ... click on enter and then scroll down to where it says Like our site, tell a friend here. Click on here and the form should come up. fill it out and see what happens<br />
<br />

You will lose your mebership here if you persist in ignoring my warnings.<!--content-->Try these files, instead of the old one...<!--content-->I am at work and cant open the files right now because we dont have winzip at work. But when i open it will it be fairly easy for me to follow? Is it like the other zip files you sent me(form.php and refer.php) I just put both files in my public_html directory? Or maybe I am putting them in the wrong place. I dont know, geeezzzz<!--content-->I noticed an error in my code... Please try this instead an let me know if it works.<br />
<br />
Also, the files can go anywhere, just make sure you link to them correctly.<!--content-->its still not working how do i link to them correctly?<!--content-->it doesnt work<!--content-->Set up a PHP info script and send me the link...<br />

I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow... I had a very hectic day..
<!--content-->Ok, try this one out. It works a bit differently, so let me explain...<br />
<br />
You will need to make all your pages with a .php extention, as it writes the link in on each page. This is necessary, as getting the referring url isn't reliable. I also programmed this script to work with Registerd Globals off. Let me know if it works for you.<!--content-->I dont have winzip on this computer at work. That zip file you sent me I cant open. can you copy and paste each one and post is so I can read it. I want to try and see if I can get these scripts to work again.<!--content-->Well, ok. Here are the files. <br />
<br />
This is how you use it on your pages (note the link). The pages need to be .php<br />
